After opening the translated information, everyone's eyes were first drawn to the star map.
The Pot Lid Vastness Star has five planets, all in elliptical orbits like other Star System, and of varying sizes. The one closest to the Main Sequence Star has a radius twice the size of Earth, but is very close. Its surface temperature reaches 600 degrees Celsius during the day and drops to over -160 degrees Celsius at night, making it a truly harsh planet.
The second planet is also Rocky Planet. This planet is within the Habitable Zone of Main Sequence Star — Habitable Zone defined by humans based on their own environment, not by the Nair Civilization. This planet is relatively small, with an equatorial radius of only four thousand kilometers, slightly larger than Mars.
The planet located in the third orbit is the main residence of the First Star Region of the Nair Civilization in the vast Star System. It is dotted with semi- Underground City that look like super-large Mongolian yurts, and there are several large Space Station in its orbit.
Next is a Gaseous Planet with an equatorial radius of 56,000 kilometers and a polar radius of 52,321 kilometers. It is slightly smaller than Saturn and is the only Gaseous Planet on the Pot Lid Vastness Star.
There are also six Rocky Satellite of varying sizes surrounding this planet.
According to the star charts sent by the Nair Civilization, the Nair People have already carried out various resource developments on these satellites.
The outermost one is a planet with a diameter of only 5012.6 kilometers, slightly smaller than Callisto. However, it is not a satellite, but a real planet because it revolves around a star. Well, actually, just revolving around a star does not necessarily make it a planet. For example, a very small planet like Pluto does not count.
Pluto is too small, with a diameter of only 2,376.6 kilometers. It does not orbit the Sun in the ecliptic plane. Moreover, because of its small mass, the Gravity it generates is not enough to clear away small celestial bodies near its orbit. Therefore, it was removed from the list of the nine planets.
As for the outermost planet, although it is also very small, it can truly be called a planet.
Outside this planet, there is a relatively thin Meteorite Belt, about 2 Astronomical Unit away from the planet's orbit Meteorite Belt is about 1 Astronomical Unit wide and is mostly distributed on the ecliptic plane of the Pot Lid Vastness Star.
If an external spacecraft wants to enter the vast expanse of the Pot Lid Vastness Star from the ecliptic plane, it must pass through this Meteorite Belt. Of course, space is not a flat map, so to cross this Meteorite Belt, which is mostly distributed in the ecliptic plane, one only needs to go around it from above or below.
According to the star map, the place that the Nair Civilization arranged for humanity to land was the outermost planet in the Meteorite Belt.
In fact, the Nair Civilization named all five planets, but if translated directly, the names would be strange and hard to remember. For example, the first planet should be translated as Will Musu Vastness Star, and the other planets follow the same naming style.
Human scientists don't need to think much to know that this name was given by the Nair Civilization after one of its scientists or experts.
Just like how some countries named certain planets in the Solar System during the human Earth Era, although it was meant to commemorate the scientists who made contributions, this naming method really increases the learning cost.
Therefore, for convenience, humans simply named the first planet "Pot Lid One Planet," the second "Pot Lid Two Planet," and so on. As for the satellites in these planetary orbits, humans also used this as a reference, calling them "Pot Lid N Planet M Satellite."
This makes it clear at a glance.
Many names for things today are based on this principle. Of course, existing names are not changed easily, since everyone is used to them.
After looking at the map of the Pot Lid Vastness Star for a while, everyone turned their attention to the content sent by the Nair Civilization.
[Greetings, Human Civilization from afar! This is the Governor's Office of the Nair Civilization on the Pot Lid Vastness Star. In this vast universe, our meeting is fate, and we are delighted to encounter you here. We, the Nair Civilization, extend our warmest welcome to you. We are aware of your needs, and therefore, we are temporarily allocating Pot Lid Five Planet for our friends from afar to dock. Due to severe communication delays, all other matters will be discussed after your fleet has completed docking.]
The content is short, but it is full of sincerity.
"Commander Yue, it seems that this Nair Civilization is quite sincere. At least so far, they haven't shown any malice," an advisor said to Yue Yuan, turning his gaze away from the situation.
A social science expert who was browsing information about the Nair Civilization on the bridge of the Lyra also spoke up, "Yes, Chief of Staff, apart from the fact that their words were a bit sharp at the beginning for some unknown reason, the Nair Civilization has always shown a lot of goodwill, even after they knew that we changed our course and came here instead of going to Great Blaze Star as they asked. However, we still cannot let our guard down."
Yue Yuan hummed in agreement and nodded, saying, "Of course, better safe than sorry! So, do you think we should follow their arrangements and head to Pot Lid Five Planet?"
Before the words were even finished, the social science expert who had just spoken took over the conversation, as if he had already thought the issue through beforehand, "Chief, in my opinion, we should definitely go. After all, the behavior of the Nair Civilization has been extremely friendly, and they must have made many considerations in arranging for us to stay on the outermost planet in their orbit."
Based on our interactions with them, the Nair Civilization, a Level 2 Civilization, is not an ignorant one. They must have encountered other Alien Civilization, and therefore they would certainly be aware of the differences between them.
That's why they assigned us to Pot Lid Five Planet, which I think is a sign of goodwill. If they had any ill intentions, they probably would have assigned us a planet with an inner orbit.
That's absolutely right!
Everyone on the bridge agreed with this view, since if a conflict were to occur, it would naturally be safer for humanity to be further away from the inner orbit.
The fact that the Nair Civilization arranged such a location for humans to land was actually a benevolent act. Since everyone has seen star maps, in the event of a conflict, it would be very convenient for humans to move freely, whether traversing the Meteorite Belt along the ecliptic plane or moving vertically up and down along it.
This arrangement, besides reflecting this consideration, also demonstrates that the Nair Civilization highly valued humanity.
According to the star map, the Nair Civilization could have easily pointed out a location in the Meteorite Belt for humans to land, but they did not do so. Instead, they sent humans to the Pot Lid Five Planet.
